IMPROVEMENT IN KEROSENE HEATERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,046, dated July 22,1873 application filed April 26, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ZIBA B. GRANDY and CYRUS E. GRANDY, of StaffordSprings, in the county of Tolland and State of Connecticut, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Kerosene Heaters, of which thefollowing is a specification:

The object of this invention'is to furnish improved facilities forheat-in g water and other liquids by means of a kerosene-lamp; and itconsists in two annular liquid-reservoirs arranged around the lampchimney, the construction and arrangement being as hereinafterdescribed.

The accompanying drawing illustrates our invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

A is the lamp-chimney, which, is securely fastened through the bottom Bby soldering or otherwise. The chimney projects below the bottom an inchor more, as seen in the drawing, and extends upward to or above the topof the reservoir. 0 is a cylinder attached to the bottom and surroundingthe chimney, forming a water-tight annular reservoir, D, around thechimney. E is another cylinder, also attached to the bottom Bsurrounding the cylinder 0, and forming another annular water-tightreservoir, F. In these reservoirs or either of them the liquid to beheated is placed, the heat for the purpose being radiated from thelamp-chimney, and is conducted from the liquid in the inner to theliquid in theouter reservoir. Two different kinds of liquid-as water andmilk, for instance-may be heated at the same time. G is a discharge-faucet, which connects with the inner reservoir, and H is adischarge-faucet, which connects with the outer reservoir. Thereservoirs may be left open or covered at the top.

When in use, the base of the chimney is placed over the commonkerosene-lamp flame, and the heater is supported by the lamp.

This is extremely convenient for heating milk for children at night aswell as at other times when a fire is not handy; also, for heating waterfor shaving or other purposes.

The heater is made of tin or similar material, and the chimney isriveted or soldered with hard solder so as to resist the effects of theheat. I

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The lamp chimney A, combined with two concentricchambers, D F, arranged on a common base, B, and having cocks G H,respectively, as and for the purpose described.
